As has been discussed, a coin with a weak strike will grade lower in the MS grades. If the same planchet (prefection) were to have received a flawless, regular/strong strike and careful handling afterwards, just like the weakly struck MS-60/62ish (minus the strong strike of course) coin wouldn't it tend to figure that the assigned grade be higher?

That's all I was getting at.
